Bill Evans was a jazz innovator known for his impressionist harmony, innovative voicing and block chords, all of which continue to influence new generations 50 years on. By 1977, he was refining rather than reinventing that voice, yet Quintessence was him shifting context and moving beyond the trio. He settles into a quintet setting that feels spacious and allows his harmonic language to breathe in new ways. 'Sweet Dulcinea' and 'Martina' unfold with a melodic lyricism, while 'Bass Face' offers a grounded counterpoint through Ray Brown's assured presence. The interplay with Harold Land and Kenny Burrell is measured and intuitive and this reissue reaffirms its place as a subtle but significant expansion of Evans' late-period expression.
